Hundreds of residents are set to save money on their energy bills thanks to East Northamptonshire Council.

More than 530 households signed up to ‘Switch Save Smile,’ a collective switching scheme run by East Northamptonshire Council and iChoosr during the winter period from December 1 to February 1.

99 per cent of those who registered in East Northamptonshire have been offered a better deal, with average savings per household of £357.95.

More than 18,000 households registered nationally, but when compared to all other participants in the scheme, East Northamptonshire Council had the highest percentage of registrations based on the number of households in the district.
